また、本願において半導体とは、抵抗率が10-3Ωcm~106Ωcmの範囲の物質をいい、導体とは、半導体より抵抗率が小さい(10-3Ωcm未満)の物質をいう。 In this application, a semiconductor means a substance having a resistivity in the range of 10 −3 Ωcm to 10 6 Ωcm, and a conductor means a substance having a resistivity lower than that of the semiconductor (less than 10 −3 Ωcm).

FIG. 2 shows a configuration example of a waveguide constituting the heating unit 16 (TE10 mode cavity resonator). In FIG. 2, the
導波管16aのアイリス部22と反対側の端部付近には、上記可動短絡部20が設けられており、アイリス部22と可動短絡部20の先端部20aとの間に存在するマイクロ波Mwの電界により被加熱対象物供給部18から供給された被加熱対象物すなわち基板24上に形成された上記膜が加熱される。なお、アイリス部22と先端部20aとの間にマイクロ波Mwの定在波を発生させるためには、アイリス部22と先端部20aとの距離Lを、
L=(2n-1)λg/2

図3(a)、(b)、(c)には、導波管16a中に発生するマイクロ波の電磁界分布の説明図が示される。
3 (a), (b), and (c) are explanatory diagrams of the electromagnetic field distribution of the microwave generated in the
図3(a)は、導波管16aの斜視図であり、図のx-y平面に直交する方向(z軸方向)に導波管16aが伸びている。導波管16aにマイクロ波が供給されると、y軸方向(x-z平面に直交する方向)に電界が発生する。このときの電界の方向及び強さを表す電気力線が実線の矢印で表示されている。また、磁界は電界と直交するx軸方向に発生し、磁界の方向及び強さを表す磁力線が破線の矢印で表示されている。

図3(b)は、導波管16aのx-z平面に平行な面での断面図である。図3(b)では、マイクロ波の電気力線が白丸(○)と黒丸(●)で示されており、白丸が紙面の手前側から裏側に向かう向き、黒丸が紙面の裏側から手前側に向かう向きの電気力線である。なお、磁力線は破線で示されている。
FIG. 3B is a cross-sectional view of the
基板24は、図3(b)に示されるように、導体もしくは半導体の膜または導体もしくは半導体を分散させた分散物の膜が形成された面をマイクロ波の電気力線方向(電界の方向)と略平行に維持した状態で導波管16a中に配置し、または導波管16a中を移動させる。ここで、略平行とは、基板24の面とマイクロ波の電気力線方向とが平行または電気力線方向に対して30度以内の角度を維持した状態をいう。なお、上記30度以内の角度とは、基板24の面に立てた法線と電気力線方向とが60度以上の角度をなしている状態をいう。基板24の面には、被加熱対象物である、導体もしくは半導体の膜または導体もしくは半導体を分散させた分散物の膜が形成されている。このため、電界によるジュール損失及び/または誘電損失により、基板24の面に形成された被加熱対象物である上記膜の加熱を行うことができる。なお、上記膜の抵抗率が1MΩcm未満の場合にはジュール損失が主となり、1MΩcm以上の場合は誘電損失が主となると考えられる。これにより、上記膜の電気抵抗が、絶縁体の状態から導体の状態まで加熱及び焼結を行うことができる。この結果、導体もしくは半導体を分散させた分散物の膜においても、その抵抗率を下げることができる。
As shown in FIG. 3B, the
上述したように、被加熱対象物として形成されている導体もしくは半導体の膜または導体もしくは半導体を分散させた分散物の膜の面は、マイクロ波の電気力線方向と平行または30度以内の角度で交わっている(略平行である)ので、上記膜を貫通する電気力線の本数が制限され、スパークの発生を抑制できる。また、マイクロ波の電界では、上記導体もしくは半導体を含む膜を内部発熱により選択的に加熱できる。従って、オーブン等により基板24ごと加熱する必要はない。なお、シリコンまたは炭化ケイ素等の半導体基板を使用した場合には、マイクロ波で加熱する際に基板自体も発熱するが、短時間で膜の焼結が完了する。これらのことから、基板24及びその表面に形成された導体もしくは半導体の膜または導体もしくは半導体を分散させた分散物の膜を破損せずに適切に加熱することができる。
As described above, the surface of the conductor or semiconductor film formed as the object to be heated or the film of the dispersion film in which the conductor or semiconductor is dispersed is parallel to the direction of the electric lines of microwave or an angle within 30 degrees. Are intersected (substantially parallel), the number of lines of electric force passing through the film is limited, and the occurrence of sparks can be suppressed. In addition, in a microwave electric field, the film containing the conductor or semiconductor can be selectively heated by internal heat generation. Therefore, it is not necessary to heat the
図3(c)は、導波管16aのy-z平面に平行な面での断面図である。図3(c)でも、マイクロ波の電気力線が実線の矢印で示されている。なお、図2、図3(b)および図3(c)では基板表面に形成された導体もしくは半導体の膜または導体もしくは半導体を分散させた分散物の膜の面がy-z平面に平行である場合を例示しているが、マイクロ波の電気力線方向と略平行になるような他の配置、例えばx-y平面に平行となるように配置してもよい。
FIG. 3C is a cross-sectional view of the
基板24は、電気力線の密度が高い(電界強度が高い)領域を通過させるのが、より短時間で加熱でき、好適である。この際、上述のように、基板24の面がマイクロ波の電気力線方向と略平行に配置される。図2および図3では、y軸方向(x-z平面に直交する方向)に電界が発生、x軸方向(y-z平面に直交する方向)に磁界が発生する場合を例示しているが、x軸方向(y-z平面に直交する方向)に電界が発生、y軸方向(x-z平面に直交する方向)に磁界が発生する構成とすることもできる。
It is preferable that the
図4には、導体もしくは半導体の膜または導体もしくは半導体を分散させた分散物の膜が形成された基板24の断面図が示される。図4において、基板24の少なくとも一方の面には、導体もしくは半導体の膜26または導体もしくは半導体を分散させた分散物の膜26が形成されている。上記基板の厚さは0.01~10mmの範囲が好適である。また、上記膜の厚さは10nm~1mmの範囲、好ましくは100nm~100μmの範囲とする。10nmより薄い膜は形成しにくく、1mmより厚い膜は、貫通する電気力線の数が増え、スパークが生じやすいからである。

導体または半導体の例としては、金、銀、銅、アルミニウム、ニッケル、グラファイト、グラフェン、カーボンナノチューブ、酸化亜鉛、酸化スズ、酸化インジウムスズ等を挙げることができる。また、上記導体または半導体を分散させる分散媒としては、公知の樹脂を用いることができる。これらの樹脂の例としては、セルロース、ポリビニルピロリドン、ポリエチレングリコール、ポリプロピレングリコール、エポキシ樹脂等を挙げることができる。また、上記基板24の材料の例としては、ポリイミド、ポリエステル、ポリカーボネート、紙フェノール、ガラスエポキシ、アルミナ、シリカ、ジルコニア、チタニア、シリコンまたは炭化ケイ素を含む基材を挙げることができる。上記基板24は、導波管に設けられた被加熱対象物供給部18から導波管16a中に挿入され、図示していない基板保持、移動手段によって上記膜の形成面が導波管中のマイクロ波の電気力線方向と略平行になるようにして導波管中に配置または導波管中を移動させてもよい。

図5には、本実施形態にかかるマイクロ波加熱装置の他の構成例が示される。図5において、特徴的な点は、二つの導波管16aがマイクロ波の進行方向(図の矢印A1、A2の方向)に平行に、かつマイクロ波の進行方向と直交する方向に隣接して並べられており、二つの導波管16a中のマイクロ波の位相が互いに90度ずれた状態に維持されていることである。なお、上記説明では、「マイクロ波の進行方向」との文言を使用しているが、これはマイクロ波が定在波であることを否定していない。定在波は互いに反対方向に進行する進行波の合成により生じるからである。また、本実施形態では、二つの導波管16aが平行に並べられているが、導波管16aの数は二つに限るものではない。被加熱対象物である上記膜が形成された基板24等の形状、被加熱面積その他の事情により適宜な数の導波管16aを使用することができる。

図5に示された実施形態においても、被加熱対象物供給部18が設けられており、基板24を、導体もしくは半導体の膜または導体もしくは半導体を分散させた分散物の膜が形成されている面が各導波管16a中のマイクロ波の電気力線方向と略平行に維持した状態で図示していない基板保持、移動手段によって導波管16a中を連続して通過させる。ここで、連続して通過とは、基板24が一つの導波管16aを通過した後、これに隣接するマイクロ波の位相が90度ずれた導波管16aを続けて通過することをいう。図5の例では、基板24が、図の上から下の方向(矢印B方向)に移動している。なお、本実施形態における被加熱対象物供給部18も、導波管に形成した被加熱対象物の供給用の開口であってよい。

以下、本発明の実施例を具体的に説明する。なお、以下の実施例及び比較例は、本発明の理解を容易にするためのものであり、本発明はこれらの実施例に制限されるものではない。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described. In addition, the following examples and comparative examples are for facilitating understanding of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to these examples.
実施例1
基板として東レ・デュポン社製ポリイミドフィルム;カプトン150EN(フィルム厚 37.5μm)を使用し、この基板の表面に銀(Ag)ペースト(ドータイトFA-353N 藤倉化成株式会社製)を塗布した。
Example 1
A polyimide film manufactured by Toray DuPont Co., Ltd .; Kapton 150EN (film thickness: 37.5 μm) was used as a substrate, and a silver (Ag) paste (Dotite FA-353N manufactured by Fujikura Kasei Co., Ltd.) was applied to the surface of the substrate.
上記銀ペーストの塗布は、上記基板にスクリーン印刷により2cm×2cmの正方パターンを印刷することにより行った。印刷したパターン(銀ペースト層)の厚さは、乾燥後で15μm(3点平均値)であった。 The silver paste was applied by printing a 2 cm × 2 cm square pattern by screen printing on the substrate. The thickness of the printed pattern (silver paste layer) was 15 μm (three-point average value) after drying.
以上のようにして銀ペーストを塗布して銀ペースト層を形成した基板を、図2に示した装置によりマイクロ波加熱を行った。この際、基板24は、マイクロ波の電界の最大点を含み、かつ上述したように、銀ペーストを塗布した面が、マイクロ波の電気力線方向と略平行となる方向に配置した。使用したマイクロ波の周波数は2.45GHzであり、このときの電界の最大点は理論上アイリス部22からλg/4離れた位置(2.45GHzのマイクロ波を使用する場合λgは148mm)となるが、基板をセットすると基板の中を進むマイクロ波が波長短縮し、共振位置がずれる。そのため、アイリス部22からλg/4離れた電界の最大点にマイクロ波検出器を配置し、マイクロ波検出器に接続した導波管内電圧計の電圧が最大値を示す位置にプランジャーの位置を微調整する。加熱時間は30秒~60秒である。これにより、銀ペースト層の表面温度が200℃程度まで上昇し、銀粒子が焼結して銀膜を生成した。このとき、基板24には熱変形等の損傷が生じなかった。また、マイクロ波加熱中にスパークの発生はなく、基板24を破損させずにその表面上に銀膜が形成できた。形成された銀膜の膜厚は16μmであった。加熱処理前後の銀ペースト層及び銀膜の抵抗率を、三菱化学アナリテック株式会社製ロレスタGPを用いて3点平均値として測定した。測定結果を表1に示す。
The substrate on which the silver paste was applied and the silver paste layer was formed as described above was subjected to microwave heating using the apparatus shown in FIG. At this time, the
実施例2
以下の手順によりアルミニウム粒子を分散させたインクを作製した。
Example 2
An ink in which aluminum particles were dispersed was prepared by the following procedure.
アルミニウムパウダー(RD10-3560 東洋アルミニウム株式会社製 D50=13μm)4.0g、フェノキシタイプエポキシ樹脂(jER1256 三菱化学株式会社製)の35%γ-ブチロラクトン溶液4.0g、γ-ブチロラクトン4.0gを良く混合して、均一な分散剤とした。なお、上記アルミニウムパウダーの粒径は、日機装株式会社製 マイクロトラック粒度分布測定装置 MT3000IIシリーズ USVRを使用して測定した。 4.0 g of aluminum powder (RD10-3560, manufactured by Toyo Aluminum Co., Ltd., D50 = 13 μm), 4.0 g of 35% γ-butyrolactone solution of phenoxy type epoxy resin (jER1256, manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation), and 4.0 g of γ-butyrolactone are better. Mix to make a uniform dispersant. The particle size of the aluminum powder was measured using a microtrack particle size distribution measuring device MT3000II series USVR manufactured by Nikkiso Co., Ltd.
上記分散剤を、実施例1と同様にして、東レ・デュポン社製 カプトン150EN(フィルム厚 37.5μm)の基板表面にスクリーン印刷により2cm×2cmの正方パターンで印刷し、アルミニウムが分散された膜(アルミニウム分散層)を形成した。乾燥後の膜厚は83μm(3点平均値)であった。その後、実施例1と同様にして、マイクロ波加熱を行った。マイクロ波加熱中に基板を熱変形させず、またスパークの発生もなく、基板を損傷させずにその表面上にアルミニウム膜を形成できた。形成されたアルミニウム膜の膜厚は102μmであった。実施例1と同様にして加熱処理前後のアルミニウム分散層及びアルミニウム膜の抵抗率を測定した。測定結果を表1に示す。 In the same manner as in Example 1, the dispersant was printed on a substrate surface of Kapton 150EN (film thickness: 37.5 μm) manufactured by Toray DuPont with a square pattern of 2 cm × 2 cm by screen printing, and a film in which aluminum was dispersed (Aluminum dispersion layer) was formed. The film thickness after drying was 83 μm (three-point average value). Thereafter, microwave heating was performed in the same manner as in Example 1. The substrate was not thermally deformed during microwave heating, no spark was generated, and an aluminum film could be formed on the surface without damaging the substrate. The formed aluminum film had a thickness of 102 μm. The resistivity of the aluminum dispersion layer and the aluminum film before and after the heat treatment was measured in the same manner as in Example 1. The measurement results are shown in Table 1.
実施例3
以下の手順により銅粒子を分散させたインクを作製した。
Example 3
An ink in which copper particles were dispersed was prepared by the following procedure.
銅パウダー(1100Y 三井金属鉱業株式会社製 D50=1.1μm)4.0g、フェノキシタイプエポキシ樹脂(jER1256 三菱化学株式会社製)の20%γ-ブチロラクトン溶液2.0g、グリセリン1.0gを良く混合して、均一な分散剤とした。なお、上記銅パウダーの粒径は、日機装株式会社製 ナノ粒度分布測定装置 UPA-UT151を使用して測定した。 Copper powder (1100Y, Mitsui Mining & Mining Co., Ltd., D50 = 1.1 μm) 4.0 g, phenoxy type epoxy resin (jER1256, manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Co., Ltd.) 20% γ-butyrolactone solution 2.0 g, and glycerin 1.0 g are mixed well. Thus, a uniform dispersant was obtained. The particle size of the copper powder was measured using a nano particle size distribution measuring device UPA-UT151 manufactured by Nikkiso Co., Ltd.
上記分散剤を、実施例1と同様にして、東レ・デュポン社製 カプトン150EN(フィルム厚 37.5μm)の基板表面にスクリーン印刷により2cm×2cmの正方パターンで印刷し、銅が分散された膜(銅分散層)を形成した。乾燥後の膜厚は14μm(3点平均値)であった。その後、実施例1と同様にして、マイクロ波加熱を行った。マイクロ波加熱中に基板を熱変形させず、またスパークの発生もなく、基板を損傷させずにその表面上に銅膜を形成できた。形成された銅膜の膜厚は17μmであった。実施例1と同様にして加熱処理前後の銅分散層及び銅膜の抵抗率を測定した。測定結果を表1に示す。 In the same manner as in Example 1, the above dispersant was printed on a Kapton 150EN (film thickness: 37.5 μm) substrate surface manufactured by Toray DuPont with a square pattern of 2 cm × 2 cm by screen printing, and a film in which copper was dispersed (Copper dispersion layer) was formed. The film thickness after drying was 14 μm (three-point average value). Thereafter, microwave heating was performed in the same manner as in Example 1. A copper film could be formed on the surface of the substrate without causing thermal deformation of the substrate during microwave heating, generation of sparks, and damage to the substrate. The film thickness of the formed copper film was 17 μm. In the same manner as in Example 1, the resistivity of the copper dispersion layer and the copper film before and after the heat treatment was measured. The measurement results are shown in Table 1.
表1に示されるように、実施例1の加熱処理前の銀ペースト層は、抵抗率が2.12E-04(2.12×10-4)Ωcmであったものが、マイクロ波加熱処理後の銀膜では6.81×10-6Ωcmまで抵抗率が低下した。また、実施例2のアルミニウム粒子を分散させたインクで形成したアルミニウム分散層では、抵抗率が測定できなかった(上記測定装置の測定上限より高い抵抗率であった)が、マイクロ波加熱処理後のアルミニウム膜では抵抗率が4.39×10-5Ωcmまで低下した。また、実施例3の銅粒子を分散させたインクで形成した銅分散層では、抵抗率が測定できなかった(上記測定装置の測定上限より高い抵抗率であった)が、マイクロ波加熱処理後の銅膜では抵抗率が3.42×10-3Ωcmまで低下した。 As shown in Table 1, the silver paste layer before the heat treatment of Example 1 had a resistivity of 2.12E-04 (2.12 × 10 −4 ) Ωcm after the microwave heat treatment. In the silver film, the resistivity decreased to 6.81 × 10 −6 Ωcm. Moreover, in the aluminum dispersion layer formed with the ink in which the aluminum particles of Example 2 were dispersed, the resistivity could not be measured (the resistivity was higher than the upper limit of measurement of the measurement apparatus), but after the microwave heat treatment In the aluminum film, the resistivity decreased to 4.39 × 10 −5 Ωcm. Moreover, in the copper dispersion layer formed with the ink in which the copper particles of Example 3 were dispersed, the resistivity could not be measured (the resistivity was higher than the measurement upper limit of the measuring device), but after the microwave heat treatment In the copper film, the resistivity decreased to 3.42 × 10 −3 Ωcm.
以上のように、銀、アルミニウム、銅の分散物の膜を基板上に形成し、マイクロ波加熱することにより、抵抗率の低い金属膜を形成できた。本実施例によれば、マイクロ波によるスパークを発生させずに各金属粒子を内部発熱させることができ、効率よく金属膜の抵抗率を下げることができた。 As described above, a metal film having a low resistivity could be formed by forming a dispersion film of silver, aluminum, and copper on a substrate and performing microwave heating. According to the present example, each metal particle could be internally heated without generating a microwave spark, and the resistivity of the metal film could be reduced efficiently.
比較例1
実施例1と同様にして、銀ペーストを、東レ・デュポン社製 カプトン150EN(フィルム厚 37.5μm)の基板表面にスクリーン印刷により2cm×2cmの正方パターンで印刷した。印刷したパターン(銀ペースト層)の厚さは、乾燥後で15μm(3点平均値)であった。
Comparative Example 1
In the same manner as in Example 1, the silver paste was printed in a square pattern of 2 cm × 2 cm by screen printing on the substrate surface of Kapton 150EN (film thickness: 37.5 μm) manufactured by Toray DuPont. The thickness of the printed pattern (silver paste layer) was 15 μm (three-point average value) after drying.
以上のようにして銀ペーストを塗布して銀ペースト層を形成した基板24を、図2、図3(b)、(c)に示した導波管内に、図7、図8(b)、(c)に示されるように配置し、マイクロ波加熱を行った。本比較例1の基板24の配置では、図7、図8(b)、図8(c)に示されるように、基板24の銀ペーストを塗布した面が、マイクロ波の電気力線方向と略直交する方向となる。このため、マイクロ波の電気力線の大部分を上記銀ペーストの塗布面で受けるようになり、スパークが発生して基板24および銀ペースト層が破損した。この結果から、実施例1~3のように、基板面の方向をマイクロ波の電気力線方向と略平行となる方向に配置する必要があることがわかる。
The
比較例2~4
実施例1~3において、マイクロ波の代わりに、電気オーブン(恒温槽)により200℃で1時間外部加熱し、加熱処理前後の各金属の分散層及び各金属膜の抵抗率を測定した。測定結果を表2に示す。
Comparative Examples 2-4
In Examples 1 to 3, external heating was performed at 200 ° C. for 1 hour using an electric oven (a constant temperature bath) instead of microwaves, and the resistivity of each metal dispersion layer and each metal film before and after the heat treatment was measured. The measurement results are shown in Table 2.
表2に示されるように、アルミニウム粒子を分散させたインクを使用して形成したアルミニウム分散層、及び銅粒子を分散させたインクを使用して形成した銅分散層については抵抗率が測定できなかった(上記測定装置の測定上限より高い抵抗率であった)。また、Agペーストを使用して形成した膜(銀ペースト層)についても、マイクロ波加熱処理(実施例1)の場合よりも抵抗率が高いことが分かる。 As shown in Table 2, the resistivity cannot be measured for an aluminum dispersion layer formed using an ink in which aluminum particles are dispersed and a copper dispersion layer formed using an ink in which copper particles are dispersed. (The resistivity was higher than the upper limit of measurement of the measuring device). Moreover, it turns out that the resistivity (film | membrane silver paste layer) formed using Ag paste is higher than the case of a microwave heat processing (Example 1).
比較例5
2.6×7.6cmのスライドガラス(厚さ2mm)にカプトンテープを2枚重ねて貼り付け、図6に示すように、1×6cmの枠を作製した。この枠内に、実施例2、3で作製した各インクをガラス棒で均一に塗布した後、恒温槽中で100℃、1時間乾燥し、予備乾燥サンプルとした。
Comparative Example 5
Two pieces of Kapton tape were laminated and pasted on a 2.6 × 7.6 cm slide glass (thickness 2 mm) to produce a 1 × 6 cm frame as shown in FIG. Each ink produced in Examples 2 and 3 was uniformly applied with a glass rod in this frame, and then dried in a thermostatic bath at 100 ° C. for 1 hour to prepare a pre-dried sample.
次に、上記予備乾燥サンプルを500℃で加熱し、加熱処理後に抵抗率を測定した。銅粒子を分散させたインクを使用して形成した膜では、抵抗率が測定できなかった(上記測定装置の測定上限より高い抵抗率であった)。一方、アルミニウム粒子を分散させたインクを使用して形成した膜については、抵抗率が1.76E-4(1.76×10-4)Ωcmまで抵抗率が下がったが、実施例2よりも一桁抵抗率が高かった。 Next, the pre-dried sample was heated at 500 ° C., and the resistivity was measured after the heat treatment. In the film formed using the ink in which the copper particles were dispersed, the resistivity could not be measured (the resistivity was higher than the measurement upper limit of the measuring device).
